 U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove

INSTALLATION 
 
Using a level, make sure the support is 
vertical.  If the support extends above the 
roof, cut it fl ush with the top of the roof.  Nail 
the support to the frame opening using (8) 
3" spiral nails or #8 x 1-1/2" screws.
Note:  If you are using a 6" square support 
you may fi nd it diffi cult to screw it 
in place because it is fairly small 
inside.
 
Simpson Dura-Vent has provided angle 
brackets with this support which can be 
screwed to the outside of the support box and 
nailed to surrounding framing as required.  
Use a minimum of four #8 x 1/2" screws 
per bracket.  In some cases these brackets 
may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to fi t under 
a fl ashing).  Place the Finish Collar around 
the support and fasten it to the ceiling using 
the screws provided.
3)  Use appropriate roof fl ashing.  Place the 
fl ashing under the upper shingles and on top 
of the lower shingles approximately half of 
the fl ashing should be under the shingles.  
4)  Assemble the desired lengths of Black Pipe 
and Elbows necessary to reach from the 
appliance adaptor up through the support 
box and fl ashing to proper height as per Dia. 
12, local codes or the "Rigid Pipe Venting 
Arrangements" section.  Ensure that all pipe 
and elbow connections are in their fully twist 
lock position.
5)  Ensure vent is vertical and secure fl ashing to 
the roof  with roofi ng nails.  Slide the storm 
collar over the pipe section and seal with a 
mastic.
6)  Twist lock the vent cap on to the last 
section.
Support Extensions - Round 
(RDSE) or Square (SQSE)
Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require 
the use of a support extension. This piece fi ts 
down inside the support and can be adjusted to 
increase the support's length by up to 22". The 
extension is attached to the support using the 
eight metal screws provided.  Be sure there is 
at least a 2 inch overlap where the extension 
joins the support.
CONVERTING A 
CLASS-A METAL 
CHIMNEY OR 
MASONRY  CHIMNEY 
TO A DIRECT VENT 
SYSTEM
General
There are two different types of direct vent 
conversion systems listed below. Follow the 
appropriate directions for your installation.
A)  Through an existing factory built metal 
chimney going through the ceiling: A typical 
conversion of this type is shown in diagram 
1. The concept of direct vent conversion is 
to connect an adaptor to an Underwriters 
Laboratories (UL) listed 4 inch diameter 
aluminum fl ex pipe which is then passed 
down through the center of the existing metal 
chimney system. Three sizes of Top Adaptors 
are available from Simpson Dura-Vent. The 
Retro Connector (909B) is attached to the 
bottom of the fl ex pipe. The Top Adaptor 
and the Retro Connector are attached to the 
existing chimney with sheet metal screws. 
The appliance is then connected to the 
chimney with appropriate black direct vent 
pipe and an adjustable length  section.
B)  Through the wall of an existing masonry 
chimney: A typical conversion of an existing 
masonry chimney is shown in Diagram 6. A 
Top Adaptor (985K) and Flashing are used at 
the top of the masonry chimney. The 4 inch 
aluminum liner is connected to the adaptor 
and is passed down the chimney and out 
through the  masonry wall and attached 
to the Retro Connector (909B). The Retro 
Connector is attached to the masonry wall 
and then connected to the direct vent pipe 
leading to the appliance.
Prior to installation and connection of the 
vent system to a factory-built or masonry 
chimney, the chimney must be inspected and 
thoroughly cleaned by a qualifi ed  service 
person, such as a certifi ed chimney sweep 
or home inspection service.
The direct vent system must not be connected 
to a damaged factory-built or masonry 
chimney.
For factory built, zero clearance, and masonry 
chimneys cleanout doors and caps or plugs 
for cleanout tee fi ttings and ash dumps 
shall be secured in place and sealed before 
installing a Direct Vent system within the 
chimney.
3)  Connect the end of the 
fl ex pipe section to the 
underside of the Top 
Adaptor using 3 sheet 
metal screws.

If the appliance shuts off during operation, 
contact a qualified service person to 
determine if a negative pressure and/or leaky 
chimney condition exists. Do not operate the 
appliance until the problem is corrected.
Approved for US Installations Only
The use of an existing chimney as an air 
intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.88b-
1999, CSA 2.33b-M99 test methods and the 
resulting ITS/WHI product certifi cation. The 
code Authority Having Jurisdiction must 
be consulted prior to proceeding with this 
installation method. 
Converting a Factory Built Metal 
Chimney
1)  Remove the existing chimney cap.
2)  Measure the distance from the top end of the 
chimney to the bottom of the ceiling support 
box, add 3" (76mm) to this measurement, 
and cut a section of the 4" fl ex pipe to that 
length (the fl ex should already be extended 
to its nominal length).
